HERITAGE CENTRE

Situated towards the rear of the site, the Heritage Centre is an indoor exhibition comprising of exhibits and displays of the railway age.

There is something to interest all ages, including interactive signal panels and hands-on exhibits for children to engage with. Big button telephones are located throughout the site so you can listen to audio recordings about a range of topics. We are adding additional displays all the time, so come along and have a look.

MILO MOUSE

Milo Mouse and his friends help point out areas where children can interact with the displays and learn as they explore the museum.

For very young children there are ‘Find Milo’s Cousins’ and ‘I-Spy’ sheets. Build your very own railway in our Heritage Centre, dress up as the station master, a Victorian passenger or a signalman.
